Introduction To Seedance 2.5 Video Creation

Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance Seed's next-generation multimodal video model. This Text-to-Video page turns a written prompt into a cinematic 4–30-second clip at 720p, with synchronized native audio generated alongside the picture. Pick an aspect ratio, set the duration, and keep audio on or off. Across the broader family, separate Seedance 2.5 pages animate a still image, guide generation with image, video, and audio references, or bridge a first and last frame; those media inputs are not available on this text-only page. For developers, Seedance 2.5 on RunComfy runs in the browser and via an HTTP API, so you don't need to host or scale the model yourself.

Why Choose Seedance 2.5#


Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance Seed's next-generation multimodal video model for generating cinematic clips from text and reference media. This page provides Seedance 2.5 Text-to-Video: turn one written prompt into a 4–30-second clip at 720p, with optional synchronized native audio generated with the picture. It accepts text only; use the other Seedance 2.5 pages when you need image, reference, or first-and-last-frame inputs.


Seedance 2.5 advantageWhat it means for you
Native audio in one passGenerate synchronized speech, sound effects, and music alongside the video, so you can skip a separate dubbing and sound-design step. Turn it off when you only need silent video.
Up to 30-second clipsDirect a longer single shot with a clear beginning, development, and ending instead of stitching several short takes.
Stronger consistency and cleaner extensionsSeedance 2.5 targets steadier characters, wardrobe, and style, and curbs the blur that used to build up when a shot is extended.
Prompt-driven controlFollow negative and timestamp-style instructions more reliably for timed actions, framing, and multi-language scenes.

Best Use Cases#


  • Advertising and product launches: Direct hero shots, product reveals, and short commercials where camera language and sound should be designed together.
  • Social media content: Create 9:16 Shorts, Reels, and Stories or 1:1 feed assets with a clear opening hook and platform-ready framing.
  • Film and commercial previsualization: Test a camera move, lighting plan, action beat, or scene transition before committing to a full production.
  • Brand and stylized storytelling: Explore title sequences, animated posters, and character moments when a written idea needs a polished audiovisual treatment.

How It Works#


  1. Write the shot: Tell Seedance 2.5 what appears, what changes over time, how the camera moves, how the scene should look, and what should be heard.
  2. Choose the delivery format: Select an aspect ratio and a 4–30-second duration, and decide whether to generate audio. Output resolution is fixed at 720p on this page.
  3. Generate and refine: The model creates video and, when enabled, synchronized audio together. Review motion, faces, lip sync, and sound timing, then change one instruction at a time.

Parameters#


The table below lists the controls exposed by the Seedance 2.5 Text-to-Video tool on this page.

The following table summarizes the wider Seedance 2.5 family on RunComfy. The image, reference, and first/last-frame inputs are available on separate pages, not as controls on this Text-to-Video page.


Seedance 2.5 pageInputs on that pageNotes
Text-to-Video (this page)prompt only, plus aspect_ratio, duration, generate_audioText-only; output at a fixed 720p (a 480p page is also available).
Image-to-Videoprompt + one imageAnimates a still; output aspect ratio follows the input image.
Reference-to-Videoprompt + up to 9 images, 3 videos, 3 audios, plus aspect_ratioReferences steer identity, motion, and mood.
First & Last Frameprompt + first_frame + last_frameBridges two keyframes; output aspect ratio follows the frames.

Every page runs 4–30-second clips and can generate optional native audio.


Pricing#


Seedance 2.5 Text-to-Video is billed per second of generated video at a fixed 720p:


DurationPrice at $0.35/s
5s$1.75
10s$3.50
15s$5.25
30s$10.50

For batches of multiple outputs, calculate the total as duration × $0.35 × output count.


Prompting Tips & Examples#


Use this reusable Seedance 2.5 prompt structure:


[subject + defining details] + [one action over time] + [camera framing and movement] + [setting + lighting] + [visual treatment] + [dialogue / effects / ambience / music] + [ending frame or constraint]


  • Separate motion: Describe subject movement and camera movement independently.
  • Show sequence: Use “begins with,” “then,” and “ends on” when the clip has more than one beat.
  • Name sound sources: Tell Seedance 2.5 who speaks, what makes each sound, the ambience, and whether music should lead or stay subtle.
  • Use negative instructions: State what you do not want (for example, no subtitles, no watermark) — an area Seedance 2.5 is designed to handle more reliably.

Weak prompt


> A retro diner at night, cinematic, with rain.


Improved Seedance 2.5 prompt


> A retro American roadside diner glows at dusk, warm neon signs reading “DINER” and “OPEN” as light rain mists the empty parking lot and colorful reflections shimmer on the wet asphalt. Begin on a wide establishing shot, then a slow dolly-in as a classic car's headlights sweep past. Cinematic anamorphic look with soft lens flares; audio: gentle rain and distant thunder ambience, no dialogue.


The improved version gives Seedance 2.5 an identifiable subject, timed action, separate camera direction, lighting, finish, and sound sources.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Seedance 2.5 available now on RunComfy?

Yes. Seedance 2.5 Text-to-Video is available on RunComfy for browser testing and API integration.

What is Seedance 2.5?

Seedance 2.5 is ByteDance Seed's next-generation multimodal video model. Its broader family covers text, image, video, and audio inputs, while individual RunComfy pages expose different controls. This page provides the text-only Text-to-Video workflow.

What is Seedance 2.5 used for in text-to-video workflows?

Seedance 2.5 Text-to-Video turns prompts into short cinematic clips with optional native audio. It targets ad creative, film previsualization, and branded storytelling where prompt-driven control and synchronized audio matter.

What resolution, aspect ratio, and duration does this text-to-video page expose?

Video is output at a fixed 720p on this page. Aspect ratio can be 16:9 (default), 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, 21:9, or adaptive (the model picks the closest ratio). Duration is a whole number of seconds from 4 to 30, with a default of 5.

Does Seedance 2.5 generate native audio?

Yes. generate_audio is on by default, so the model can output synchronized speech, sound effects, and music, which supports lip-synced clips. Turn it off when you only need silent video. Audio quality still depends on prompt clarity and the scene you describe.

Can I use image, video, or audio references on this Seedance 2.5 page?

No. This page is the text-only Seedance 2.5 Text-to-Video workflow, and its API accepts only prompt, aspect_ratio, duration, and generate_audio. For source media, use the separate Seedance 2.5 Image-to-Video, Reference-to-Video, or First & Last Frame page.

Do I need to self-host Seedance 2.5?

No. RunComfy provides Seedance 2.5 through the browser and an HTTP API, so you do not need to host or scale the model yourself.

How do I move from testing Seedance 2.5 in the browser to production API integration?

Prototype in the RunComfy model UI, then call the same model through the RunComfy API using identical Input fields (prompt, aspect_ratio, duration, generate_audio). Validate prompts in the UI first, then use your account API key and credits for automated jobs.

How much does it cost to generate on this Seedance 2.5 page?

Generations are billed on the generated video duration at $0.35 per second at 720p. A 5-second clip costs about $1.75 and a 30-second clip about $10.50. See the Generation section on this page for live pricing.
